    Water cloudy after soda ash added

    I was surprised also because I’ve used that amount before at opening and it didn’t do it. But my CH was super low the first time because I balance CH last when I open the pool. So my saturation index would have been different. I think I made the issue worse also because I turned the pump higher...

    Water cloudy after soda ash added

    Thank you for replying. I didn’t think there was anything else to do but wanted to make sure i wasn’t missing something with the test results. Good to know anything over 7.0 is fine.

    Water cloudy after soda ash added

    Our pool has been open for about 2 months and the water has been perfectly clear with no issues. Yesterday I tested and the pH was on the low side so I added 8oz soda ash because I was out of Borax. Since it was such a small amount I just broadcast it over the deep end and it created an instant...

    Gunnite wall fitting

    We had a pool build gone bad situation 4 years ago. The pool is great now but the final wall fittings were never placed on. I'm not even sure if the PB used the correct return fitting at all but since it's in concrete what's done is done. The eyeball ring fits directly onto it so we never...

    High FC with swg and heater

    OK I have another question. I am a few days into the water balancing act with a new pool and currently trying to get CYA up and FC down. I've gotten the CYA from 0 to 10 in the past 48 hour and I just added more. I am going slowly because I am afraid of overshooting my goal of 60-70. The shape...

    CYA level for covered pool

    Thank you for the replies! I have a blue auto cover on the pool and the only time it will be uncovered is the couple hours we plan to use it in the late afternoon. My reasoning for wanting to go with a lower CYA, if ok with a swg, is the target FC will be lower according the the chart. If this...

    CYA level for covered pool

    Sorry if this has been covered many times before. I just got my SWG up and running today on a new pool build and I am balancing the water for the first time. Here are my current readings using the TF-100 test kit (which i LOVE). Everything looks good except the CYA and the CH which are both low...

    Pentair EasyTouch programming - one more time...

    WOW!...there was no comparison. It took me longer to get the program and firmware update installed on my computer than to program the pool. It's all done and working perfectly from my computer and phone. Thank you so much for mentioning the screenlogic. I wish I had not wasted my time with the...

    Pentair EasyTouch programming - one more time...

    So all the initial programming can be done with the Screenlogic 2? I have it but I haven't set it up yet because I thought the Easy Touch controller would be easier. Thanks for the information.

    Pentair EasyTouch programming - one more time...

    Following this thread. I am in the same boat trying to program my Easy Touch. The instruction manuals provided have been less than helpful.

    Pentair light out of sync

    I hope it is ok to reply to an old thread. Did you set up your bubblers to the automation yourself? I'm trying to get our 3 bubblers set up and I cannot figure out how to control them independent of the intellibrite 5G pool light. Do you control both through the lights menu?
